Kat Cut Fit

If you constantly feel pain between your shoulder blades, upper back tightness, or tension around your neck and shoulders, this stretch will feel awesome.

But it will not solve your upper back tightness forever. The problem usually lies in:

- having forward head posture 8+ hrs a day ( looking down at the phone)
- you trained a lot recently (pulling movements, rows,boxing...)
- you lack muscle strength in your upper back
- anxiety & stress related muscle pain

One movement will never solve all your pains.
Moving daily will🐆

‘I know I just need to stretch more’

is a message I read 10x yesterday, half of them were golfers.

As if just the lack of stretching is the reason your mobility is 💩

I had clients who stretch for 20 years, 6 days a week and are still stiff - how’s that possible?

Here are 3 reasons I see most often:

1️⃣. They move too fast

The tempo they’re doing it is more of ‘HIIT-let-it-burn’ than a ‘La-la-la- done-with ease’

They hit the end range for a fraction of a second, then get out as quickly as possible because that’s the uncomfortable part.
And needs most control & patience.

Slowness is where your power lies

2️⃣. Nervous system is in high alert:

- breathing not aligned with movement
- the frowned face,
- lifted shoulders,
- tensed fists…

are all signs you’re forcing the stretch, and your body doesn’t feel safe.

When it doesn’t, it will contract even more.

I know it’s hard to relax when something feels uncomfortable.

That’s why consistent exposure to new ranges matters.

3️⃣. No strength component

Just passive stretching, usually something picked up from an aerobics class in 1998 that somehow became the entire mobility routine.

The body adapts what you consistently do.

Do introduce new movement patterns & getting strong at end ranges. Learn to own them.

Most golfers don’t need more swing tips
Just more specific mobility

You think you don’t need mobility work until you bend over to pick up your socks and suddenly injure yourself

Or every day when you need to step over in a bathtub but you barely can

So instead of facing it, you start avoiding certain movements & activities

Because you don’t want to see yourself struggle or look ridiculous to others

I mean.. you can do that

But that’s just avoidance, not a solution

My goal is to kickstart the process of you becoming a person who moves every day

You learn by doing.

Not by saving another videos in hope you’ll apply it one day

If you’re serious & ready to get mobile & strong,

message me ‘CUT’ to work with me 🐆

This is what I do when my lower back feels tight from too much sitting or lifting

Now you can copy it too

P.S. This might not be suitable for your lower back situation/ injury- for individual solutions, message me ‘BACK’
